The firearms being discussed are not "weapons of war", despite the use of the inflammatory phrase by politicians who do (or at least should) know better. If they were, they would be used by the military, and they are not.

Facts are sticky little buggers, aren't they?

A 6-year-old kid is going to tackle an adult shooter??

It was a trick question.

They're all the same weapon, just different cosmetic package options.

Yet another poor loon who believes that disarming law-abiding people will reduce the activities of criminals. Where do these people come from?

LOL, reading comprehension is obviously not your forte. I was not calling semi-auto assault rifles "weapons of war". I asked the poster if he is in favor of eliminating all current gun laws and restrictions and allowing weapons of war into the civilian populace... e.g. shoulder fired missiles, tanks, fully auto guns, grenades, bombs, etc.

The one(s) that can fire continuously like a machine gun.

In other words, none of them.

The Mini-30 fires a larger cartridge (.30" diameter, same one the AK-47 fires). The rest are mouse guns (.223" diameter).

The one used to assault someone.

...Which is why gun owners tend to frown on banning certain types of guns... any gun can become an "assault weapon" in the wrong hands so the only real "solution" at the end of that road is to ban them all.

And thank god he got tackled. How often does that happen? I was not good at changing clips either. Ban those clips, and there are still millions out there, available outside the US. Easy to ship. Black market, they will also be very easy to get.
